We mirror via rsync from sources.redhat.com::cygwin-ftp , and our system=20
tells me that there haven't been any problems syncing. I'm not familiar=20
with the structure of the cygwin repository, but a quick visual compare=20
between http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/ and http://mirrors.dotsrc.org shows=20
no differences. So I'm kind of at a loss as to where to look for the=20
problem.
